Composite Fillings Warrington

Composite Fillings

Strong and durable, fillings offer a great solution incorporating both style and substance. Fillings in Warrington are very straightforward and a local anaesthetic is used to prevent any discomfort or pain.

White fillings have become ever increasingly popular over the last decade, providing an alternative to silver coloured amalgam fillings. Made from a composite resin, the filling completely blends with your tooth and even someone looking very closely would find it hard to spot the difference between your natural tooth and the filling.

Often, fillings are used to restore teeth following cavity treatment, removing the decayed area of your tooth. They can also be used to repair cracked, worn and broken teeth.

On visiting our Warrington practice, treatment can be carried out in a single visit and our dentists will be able to match the colour of your filling to your existing tooth colour, giving a very natural result.

Q: What are amalgam fillings?
A: Amalgam or silver fillings are the metal coloured fillings that many people have. Amalgam was the traditional material used for fillings for many years.
Q: Why should I consider white fillings in Warrington?

A: Most people have fillings of one sort or another in their mouths. Nowadays fillings are not only functional, but can be natural looking as well. Many people don’t want silver fillings that show when they laugh or smile because they are more conscious about the way they look.

Q: Are they expensive?

A: Because many white fillings are only available privately, costs can vary quite a lot from dentist to dentist depending on location and the dentist’s level of expertise. Costs also depend on the size and type of white filling used and the time it takes to complete the treatment. As a guide, white fillings at our Warrington clinic start from around £200 each, but your dentist will be able to give you an idea of the cost before you agree to treatment.

Q: Are white fillings as good as silver amalgam fillings?
A: The life expectancy of a white filling can depend greatly on where it is in your mouth and how heavily your teeth come together when you bite. Your dentist can advise you on the life expectancy of your fillings. However, any fillings provided on the NHS are automatically guaranteed for one year.
Q: Is it worth replacing my amalgam fillings with white ones?
A: It is usually best to change fillings only when your dentist decides that an old filling needs replacing. If so you can ask to have it replaced in a tooth-coloured material.

Some dentists prefer not to put white fillings in back teeth, as they are not always successful. One way around this would be to use crowns or inlays, but this can mean removing more of the tooth and can be more expensive.

Q: What are tooth-coloured fillings made of?

A: This can vary, but they are mainly made of glass particles, synthetic resin and a setting ingredient. Your Warrington dentist can give you more information about the particular material that they use.

Q: Where can I get them done?

A: Most dental practices offer white fillings as a normal part of the treatment they give you. High Street Smiles clinic in Golborne, Warrington offers them at a reasonable rate. However, white fillings are classed as a ‘cosmetic’ treatment, and you can therefore only have them if you pay privately.

Q: Are there any alternatives to fillings?
A: Adhesive dentistry is another form of this treatment. This involves bonding the filling to the tooth.
The dentist has to remove less of the tooth, which is obviously better.

As we have already said, there are alternatives such as crowns and inlays although they can cost a lot more. Veneers can be used on front teeth instead of crowns or fillings.

    Kathryn Phelan Avatar Kathryn Phelan

    Always pleasant and accommodating. I'm sure they're in demand for clients but with the NHS being as chaotic as it is they'll be unable to take more on probably which is a shame for a superb first class dentist .

    I am a wheelchair user and today had my check up at High Street Smiles. Usually a friend or family accompany me but today I made the journey by taxi. Upon arrival the ramp,was put, a member of staff assisted me from the taxi to my chair and ensured I got in the building safely. Everyone was so helpful, my chair wasn't a problem, the dentist took extra care as I cannot lie as flat as most patients can. Thank you all.
